The Taco Burrito King @ 405 S. Wells is a Delicious Burrito Joint located in the south loop. If you have a hunger for a lunchtime burrito on a weekday in Chicago, I'd recommend that you go there.
What many people don't know is that Tom Petty wrote a song about it in the 90's. While his hit 'It's Good to Be King' does not specifically mention the Taco Burrito King @ 405 S. Wells, it is clear from the context that this song is subliminally about this restaurant. Like many of the best songs of the 20th and early 21st century, there are underlying drug and burrito references, but the best song writers make these references subtle and subliminal, so the listener has to use their imagination, and the censors are none the wiser.
For those of you who are unable to interpret the true meaning of this wonderful song, I have put the hidden words in brackets [] mixed with the lyrics that are heard by the untrained ear:
It's good to be [Taco Burrito] King [@405 S. Wells], if just for a while
To be there in velvet, yeah, to give 'em a smile
It's good to get high, and never come down
It's good to be [Taco Burrito] King [@405 S. Wells] of your own little town
Yeah, the world would swing if I were [Taco Burrito] King [@405 S. Wells]
Can I help it if I still dream time to time [about Taco Burrito King @405 S. Wells]
It's good to be [Taco Burrito] King [@405 S. Wells] and have your own way
Get a feeling of peace at the end of the day
And when your bulldog barks and your canary sings
You're out there with winners, yeah, it's good to be [Taco Burrito] King [@405 S. Wells]
Yeah I'll be [Taco Burrito] King [@405 S. Wells] when dogs get wings
Can I help it if I still dream time to time
It's good to be [Taco Burrito] King [@405 S. Wells] and have your own world
It helps to make friends, it's good to meet girls
A sweet little queen who can't run away
It's good to be [Taco Burrito] King [@405 S. Wells], whatever it pays
Excuse me if I have some place in my mind
Where I go time to time [Taco Burrito King @405 S. Wells]
